I was thrilled when Sacramento Magazine recently published a story about an ongoing project of mine for a wonderful couple and their two kids. We have been working on the whole house, but the Family Room and Home Office was one the first rooms to be completed. Object: a multi-functional room that is kid-friendly, flexible and fun!  The color palette is ivory white, indigo blue, natural linen and a citron green....fresh and pretty. I started with a Chesterfield sofa in an almost kid-proof fabric in a soft natural linen hued velvet. We found a great rug from West Elm in dark and light blue stripes that added a punch of pattern. I layered on more pattern in the same colors in the curtains and pillows, with a bit of citron as well.

A green Chinese table under the TV adds a bit more of the green color to the mix....

And a few family antiques made their home in the mix as well....

In the opposite end of the room, I created a home office area for mom to work while kids are occupied. At the request of the client, I designed a white board wall which can be hidden behind panels that are made of frames for family vacation photos....Everything can be quickly hidden if guests are coming over.....
